Internal vibrations: Anyone else experiencing this?

I’m trying to recall how I felt taking the Gabapentin……I felt really good, except my numbness in my feet remained. The burning in my feet stopped, as long as took the med. I recall feeling very content and wondering if I might get addicted to it. I liked it. I didn’t feel anxious and I don’t think I had those intense episodes …..I call them episodes of adrenaline rush. It’s like my insides are so intense and ready to shake. Weak at the same time. I did get them after I stopped the med.
I continued to have the episodes until several weeks ago. I discuss it with my therapist. I also used a technique called ‘tapping” when I felt it coming on. It wasn’t a panic attack. I had those many years ago, but the adrenaline rushes were different. I got these after covid. I hope I’m done with them. My burning has left too! I hope it’s a sign that my other issues will improve as well.
I would take Gabapentin if not for the blurry vision. I just couldn’t. I will try Lyrica though, if my insurance will cover it. They have denied it.

Yes, it feels like adrenaline rush to me too. I think we all describe it a little differently. It wakes me in the morning very early, and there’s no settling down after that. Then it is random through the day. As all my symptoms go, I suppose for me it is the easiest to tolerate.
Starts in my stomach area and radiates down to my feet, and up to my head before it passes. I thought for sure my adrenal glands were out of whack, but all the tests come back “normal”.
The suggestion for me has been SSRI to handle this and my many, many other symptoms. I have tried eight different ones. They all turn up my tinnitus to intolerable levels.
So......I don’t know.

Thank you for your replies to my questions. I haven’t taken anything yet except antihistamine which I read was taken by another long covid sufferer. I don’t really feel any difference. Maybe because I take PPIs for my acid reflux. Apparently, the efficacy of the antihistamine is lessened when you are taking PPIs. I just had acupuncture so we’ll see if there’s any improvement in my symptoms esp. diarrhea and acid reflux. I still have brain fog so I’m scared to drive.
